All work done is performed by local licensed private contractors.
Eligibility for the CDBG Home Rehab Program is based upon gross household income and the number of occupants in the home. Written verification of income, homeownership and home insurance is required. Once the work is done on a home, a lien will be placed on the home for the cost of the job. Please call 1-800-562-9762 Ext. 222 for more information.
